I have a lot of anxiety about baseball season. Historically it's been just Jacob playing and I help coach when I can. Of course I have Zach and Alex that I need to watch and I was lucky enough last year to have my mom watch the boys at my home so that they didn't have to sit through a game. Cindy only made two of the games in the entire season ( Read more... )

Well shit. This one's easy!

"It's your mom's year! Her turn to pay for it, take you there/back and watch you. Enjoy!"

Repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat.
But what you repeat has to be the EXACT SAME THING you said before and you have to mean it.
You are NOT discussing 'reasons.' You are NOT discussing details. You're assigning her a year. And that's that.

Don't bitch out on this. Don't get sidetracked. Don't make it into something else or ANYTHING else.
They can climb up HER @$$hole if they're truly motivated.
ETA: In fact? You're not taking another year UNTIL she takes a year. Yup.

This isn't about the kids getting into college or having clothes to wear. It's optional stuff.
Unfair to Cindy? I'm sorry WHA? She set the rules when it came to swingin' on stranger's dicks. YOUR TURN.

It's time to carve out a bit of sanity and breathing room for yourself. Go get it. You'll thank me later.

I stuck to my guns on this one. We aren't doing baseball this year. Jacob was upset about it but he's being very understanding about it.

I don't give a shit what Cindy thinks about this. All I was stressed over was the kids. We are going to have a fun summer this year. And we don't need to live by the baseball schedule.

But that's not all. Baseball starts again when she takes a turn.
If the kids want it enough, they'll go get her.

She's gonna walk all over you as long as she's allowed.
So get used to telling her No. And No and No till she gets that it means No.
Which doesn't have to be NO and NO!!!!! and escalation into something nasty.
Least not on your side of the fence. But it takes some folks time to understand the Meaning of No.
